I hear the member for Boothby saying, ‘Hear, hear!’, and quite rightly so—it is in his electorate. And Club of the Year in the Metro (Large) category went to the Para Hills Community Club.
All of those clubs well deserved the awards they were given, and you would have noticed, from the wide spread of both locations and style of clubs, the range of different organisations that make up Clubs SA around South Australia and the fantastic job they all do for their own local communities—and I am sure that all of us in this place are familiar with local clubs. In fact, only yesterday I attended, at the Parafield Gardens Community Club, the KD Dance Championship, a championship arranged for schoolchildren in the local region, where KD’s dance school taught the schoolchildren and then put them through a local championship to help them get some confidence. In a similar vein I attended the Para Hills Community Club on Saturday night where the pitch and putt—pitch and putt is a modified golf game—national championship awards were given out, and I was pleased to see that it was hosted by South Australia, with the presentation at the Para Hills Community Club.
